"Favourite is the uncovered fossil of a 50s radio station, it reperesents such happines that makes you uncomfortable, the song that welcomes you through the gates of heaven and theres a melancholy in that when you realise youre no longer living." - Grian Chatten This will be my Favourite Fontaines DC tune, for a long time
I love it when people stay interested in new music! ... too many people complaining like: they dont make music like they used to, nag nag nag ... it's just bc. they are not interested in contemporary music anymore .. it only takes a LITTLE effort to listen to new music, and if you do, you will see! good music is of ALL times!! ... and discover absolute GEMS like this!!!
@@keeni5501 I absolutely have to second that evaluation. They have a sound that is reminiscent of so many amazing groups, yet they are SO different from them all.
This music makes me think about my friends from childhood, the ones who have passed, how we we're all once kids. How we all went our ways. I hope they're all doing well.
As a Dubliner, I’ve never related more to a band than these guys. I was hooked after hearing “liberty belle”. Love to hear them evolving constantly and covering new ground. Amazing work lads
I’m a child of the famine diaspora and there are words and in Grian’s lyrics that are so familiar because I’ve heard them in my family all my life. Like snippets of memory that survived generations. Even more than the Pogues, I feel like FDC are the Irish band I’ve always been waiting for.
From the U.S. but these guys are brilliant (liberty Belle was also the song that got me). So glad more people here are starting to know who they are since their sound is so refreshing. Cannot wait to hear the full album.
Man this one stings right to the centre of the heart and electrifies the nervous system with a wave of nostalgia and hope, heartbreak and beauty - I'm feeling sentimental for something I can't put my finger on but I think we all share... this will likely be my favourite for a long time
This is still my kids "favorite" song of all time! See you at the Commodore in Vancouver :) April for my 52 bday! Fontaines DC is the best band in the world bar none!
We started zero contact in August after we broke up, letting go of one of the most beautiful four years of our lives. We had good closure, but things happened, as (un)expected. Today she emailed me back. During all these months the song that most fitted this love was this one. Misery made me another marked man. Each new day I get another year older. I don't know how mature we will look the next time we see each other after our breakup. I don't know what will happen. But she was my favorite for a long time. And my favorite in my 33 years of life. First of all: no expectations and no wishful thinking. Clarity and clear communication will build a wonder, they are the foundation of a relationship. For our favorites in our lives: give it your all, it's worth it.
Started thinking about my Mom and my Dad as I was listening to this for the first time. We may grow up, and change and evolve, but we will always hold dear those people we knew in our early years, and there's a certain romance in that. Can't wait to hear the entire LP...and see how FDC continue to evolve and grow as artists and as a band.
From the no holds barred anthem of Starburster, to this shimmering melody that still carries a typical Fontaines DC opinion, gives me great hope for the album.
This song reminds me of my home Aotearoa New Zealand. Has a bit of a Flying Nun / Dunedin sound feel to it.. or maybe it's just the nostalgic feel that makes it feel like home to me. Either way, I don't often feel that way when I listen to bands from overseas. What a great song to end the album with a moment of levity.
Awesome. The guitar parts and general mood remind me of some of the shimmering layers to Johnny Marr's beautiful best work (Bigmouth, & Stop Me). And the vocal sits so well in it. Great video too. And I like the way ye didn't make the song really short, and let it run on for all it's worth. Looking forward to the album, and hope to catch ye's live in Spain sometime.
Yeah there's strands of the Smiths, the Cure, even really early MBV and other late 80s jangle pop, stone roses, etc. They are continuing to tap the late 80s/90s UK/Irish alternative vein they struck with Jackie Down the Line. It's so good, fresh but nostalgic, pulling clear influence but distinctly original.
@@burieddagger8064 The Cure definitely, though maybe a little bit more of the Smiths and a bit less of The Cure. I could hear the MBV type influence slightly, maybe in the backing vocals and vocal melody, and layering. But it's not obvious. I couldn't put my finger on a specific band, but late 80s jangle pop is a good description, and I know what you mean with Stone Roses. But maybe leaning a little into early 90s indie. Maybe even that wistful happy/sad nostaglia of Smashing Pumkpkins, Sonic Youth or the sunnier tracks of Dinosaur Jr. Maybe a touch of Lemonheads, or the mood of tracks like Ash - Shining Light. idk, it's hard to pin. Which is good.
i just love this band. as much as i love the cure, radiohead, and idles its so refreshing to get songs from them that are dark, stormy, and brooding and then songs like this that are so personal and full of love and sunlight. a punk/rock/indie/whatever!! band that sings about going out of your way for others and buying yourself flowers??? yes. perfect. this is what music needed now. there are so many great young Irish bands right now, its amazing to watch them get their well deserved attention finally. i don't usually comment on youtube unless i really love something, and these lads have done it
Ça faisait longtemps que je n’avais pas entendu un bijou musical et vous l’avez fait ✅ on s’en fout des influences, tout le monde a des influence. Le plus important est de réussir ses créations. Et vous avez réussi. Vous êtes uniques, vous êtes top 👍 Longue vie à Fontaines DC ❤
Last saturday a friend of mine came home. I cooked spaghetti and after that we made some music with a midi keyboard he brought. Later that afternoon we went for a walk around my neighbourhood to catch some inspiration for the lyrics. I never felt so happy. This video summarized my feelings perfectly.
Loved this live. Very different to their other stuff and very different to Starburster, too. Can't wait until December. Will be repping you guys at the Fat White Family gig tomorrow in Leeds! 🖤
I don't have any examples at the moment, but I feel like every good rock band have such a song, filled with nostalgia and personal archives or memories of touring. Fontaines D.C. achieves the ritual successfully.
This tune definitely feels like an old friend. Having a beer and chatting about the good old days. And rip to the fallen in your life's happy memories of them
This video makes me so nostalgic, damn I'm also Irish and grew up around the same time as the lads, so the furniture, the landscape, everything makes me want to go home and track down the old videos my dad made of us growing up Although part of me knows it would just make me sad knowing how many people in the videos are no longer with us, even my dad has passed since Either way a great song and a moving video to go with it!
I'm not comparing them to Smashing Pumpkins but similar to 1979, it takes talent to write melancholic nostalgia into a piece that makes it seem like it's been existed forever, yet still fresh and provokes butterflies every listen. Love it.
@MADCHESTERUTD-o9h Cannot believe they've been compared to Dullsville Coldplay! Talk about lazy. Agree, that's why prefaced it with not a comparison, was trying to explain that nostalgic feeling. Like the song's been in my life forever on first listen and give me goosebumps every listen.
@MADCHESTERUTD-o9h am not offended, sweet that you apologised which is entirely accepted even though not necessary. not a knob, passionate about what you love :) was great to see them at Glasto, even though it was from a sofa!
Loved this song from the moment I first heard it, but also there is something about the band that got me even if a track did not vibe with me. All their music takes me back somewhere meaningful, I watched the gig at Dublin Gaol during lockdown, it meant something
I heard these guys for the first time properly on the radio and this tune grows on you so much. One of my favourites of the summer and i have all the rest of their tunes to check out! 🤩
The way this feels so fresh and yet nostalgic at the same time, I love this band so much
Seaforth by King Krule another tune like this with similar visuals
Absolutely agree it already feels like timeless nostalgia ✨
Nostalgic cause it's a cover version of Charlie Brown by Coldplay
@@brockhopkins8408Also a tune but these are nothing alike
fresh wht?? 10 yers go??
Do you realise how timeless this is?
Perfect x
Honestly man... special tune.
Song of the summer...of all summers. Instant classic.
2nd SotS out of Ireland damn what are they cooking up over there
The 1979 track for this generation
just thought and felt the same, wtf this is so fucking great!
It’s officially my 2024 summer song.
290k views and I think I might be 90k of them
Sometimes you come across a song that hits your soul at the right time. This is one of those those songs and this is one of those times.
Fire!
this shit is so real, don't know why I'm so attached to that song, it makes me realize how powerful music can be...
True!
Everything these guys touch is gold.
That’s my favourite comment here
real
@@mightyjoeyoung Nah
It's Charlie Brown with different lyrics ffs 😂😂😂😂
i hope they dont touch my pipi

Made me super nostalgic of inexistent times
This is one of my favorite songs ever. Cannot quit listening.
Wow! That feeling!
@@alexisvega9540 couldn't have put it better myself ngl
Youu mean a long, a long, long time
The replay value is insane
🔂
YES
The fact this tune reminds so many people of Just Like Heaven is the biggest compliment really
Agreed- favorite from the 80’s
Reminds me of Gold Soundz by Pavement .
Those who know what they know...James..
love that they're carrying on the Cure vibes that were present on Skinty Fia, this is the most hyped I've been about an album in years
no melody though
@@Indie_or_dieyou what feller
This sounds nothing like the cure
@@Beepbeepbeepbeare we listening to the same The Cure
I definitely hear some cure. Awesone
65 years old still enjoy finding great music and these lads deliver 100% ☘️
60 and loving these guys.
Check out their catalog boys in the better land is a straight jam
Respect mate age is just a number!
YES!! This is what makes life great, no matter the age!!

Death, taxes, Fontaines dropping bangers.
Facts
Couldn't agree more mate !
fuck, right??!!
Innit!
Solid reference sir
This song is already timeless. You'll listen to this in 10, 20 years and feel even more happy/sad
This has been my favourite for a long time
Is it not completely new?
Completely new...the second release after "in gonna get your business if etc"
@@etypiccolomate, listen. 😀
Starburster? Fool
Whooosshhhhh😂😂😂😂
It sounds and feels like 90's or early 2000's. Its so nostalgic I love it😊
Has anyone else listened to this song almost incessantly for a week. One of the nicest video and song combos
How nice to feel excited by a band again..!
This is so hauntingly nostalgic it makes me emotional, makes me miss my childhood friends and the innocence of youth. A true masterpiece.
I'M FROM MADRID AND I RECOGNIZE ALL THE LOCATIONS GUYS ILYSM I HOPE YOU HAD FUN IN HERE love that skatepark is near my university
I KNOW THE FEELING OF CAPS LOCK GETTING STUCK. I FUCKING HATE IT. LOVE MADRID THOUGH
VIVA MADRID COÑO
By far the best band in the world at the moment, incredible
couldn't agree more!!
@@keeni5501 I absolutely have to second that evaluation. They have a sound that is reminiscent of so many amazing groups, yet they are SO different from them all.
Super Leeds!

@conoreccleston-jy1kq
Why be mean to a fellow fan though?
You were my favorite for a long time. Hits so hard when they are gone and you know they aren’t coming backing. They are now a memory
Instant favourite. Big Sonic Youth, 90s indie vibe… impeccable
smashing pumpkins as well
Sounds nothing like Sonic Youth
The riff makes me think gif SY’s Teenage Riot for sure!
@@monks_inthe_moshpit yes!!
@@adaardor totally, it’s really got a 1979 vibe
This music makes me think about my friends from childhood, the ones who have passed, how we we're all once kids. How we all went our ways. I hope they're all doing well.
Look'em up. Find out.
Reminds how alone and isolated my childhood was

Be proud of these boys. Very proud. They're special. Up the Taines! ☘️
From the U.S. but these guys are brilliant (liberty Belle was also the song that got me). So glad more people here are starting to know who they are since their sound is so refreshing. Cannot wait to hear the full album.
We're all aware the singer is an English man right ...... .
@@mightyjoeyoung yeah, as ‘proudly’ English as Shane MacGowan.
Honestly man, shed a tear to this one, bringing me back to some special times. Genuinely a beautiful, beautiful song.
Made me think of old friends.
Best song of 2024
Second that, amazing
The cure vibes. Just like heaven. Instant classic
and stone roses, so 90'
Also The Smiths
Yes, indeed. Reminded me of Wild Nothing, but that all fits in the The Cure-heritage. Somewhat different production.
Oasis meets The Cure
Feels like we're coming out of a musical dark ages. Like there is hope for the guitar band again. And the music and lyrics have real meaning again.
At the exact time of the premiere of their new music video, I will be at the Fontaines D.C. live show in Warsaw. 😄
a man of culture
Me too❤❤❤
same here, but they start around 9pm, so we’ll have time to catch up with this video ;)
ME TOO!! IM AT THE BARRIERS RN
@@walo666 SAY HIGH!
I am obsessed with this band. What a beautiful thing to have discovered their music.
i already know i'll be listening to this for decades ❤
Ditto
it's gonna be great
@@NastiestRat gonna be big.
Yep
Some great Irish bands at the moment, punching above our weight as usual ☘️
hard to describe the feeling this song gives me
Grian as a kid is literally the most beautiful human being I’ve ever seen
The guitars feel like warm sunshine on a summer day.
Bro I’m crying this is so beautiful
Sadly you ruined it starting a comment with "bro".

This song literally brings me to tears. It makes me nostalgic for everything all at once.
so happy to find new music that's really good in 2024. Feels nostalgic but also fresh.
Completely obsessed with this song
This will be my favourite for a long time😁
god they are so good. sounds like a summer dream
This is an iconic music video. The track couples the nuance of nostalgia perfectly. Genius.
This really moved me this evening. Thanks lads.
My thoughts exactly. Medicine I didn't know I needed.
This is still my kids "favorite" song of all time! See you at the Commodore in Vancouver :) April for my 52 bday! Fontaines DC is the best band in the world bar none!

Thanks for providing this vibe. Miss the 90s. Childhood. Innocent thoughts. No Cellphones. We just lived the time of our lifes.
These guys are having fun with it. Genius at work
Genius at play, even! They are flying ❤🎉
This is truly such a fantastic song. Been stuck in my head since it came out, and I’m not even complaining 🤙
The home video aesthetic fits so perfectly, I found the song was nostalgic before I saw the video. Another banger

Just checking this band out for first time. Hard not to love them.
Heard this on 88.5 WXPN in Philadelphia
This new album is going to be an all-timer. Can just feel it.
The diversity of their songs is something else
I am obsessed with outros of albums (even named my band Outros for this reason), and golly, this is a hell of one. Great job lads.
so summery and sunshiney i love it
This song makes me smile every time it comes up on my playlist definitely makes my day a bit better
Just saw them play this live in Warsaw. What a song
this song makes me feel so nostalgic this video perfectly captures it 😭
Fontaines D.C. are the current best band in the world...yeah I said it.
Have been for a while.
Train from Waterford to Dublin today. Fourth time seeing them live...never disappoint 💚🩷
Best song in the world
